Abstract
An odd vector field on a supermanifold is called homological, if . The operator of Lie derivative makes the algebra of smooth tensor fields on into a differential tensor algebra. In this paper, we give a complete classification of certain invariants of homological vector fields called characteristic classes. These take values in the cohomology of the operator and are represented by -invariant tensors made up of the homological vector field and a symmetric connection on by means of tensor operations.
